Hi,
I tried to build the Hello_World.c example shipped with ESP-IDF but it fails with the below messages when I set the target to ESP32H2 or ESP32C6.
Surprisingly the build runs fine when the target is set to ESP32.

C:/Users/Bruno/Documents/Visual_Studio_Code/ESP-IDF/v5.2/espressif/tools/riscv32-esp-elf/esp-13.2.0_20230928/riscv32-esp-elf/riscv32-esp-elf/include/c++/13.2.0/cstdlib:41:10: fatal error: bits/c++config.h: No such file or directory
41 | #include <bits/c++config.h>

The environment is :
OS - Windows 10
Visual Studio Code version 1.86.0
ESP-IDF Extension version 1.7.0
Git version 2.39.2.windows.1
ESP-IDF version 5.2.0
Python version 3.11.2
Python's pip version 23.3.2

I found hits in the net mainly related to the Arduino env or to problem with the long path names not allowed in Windows.

Still the file c++config.h does not exist in the bits subdir.
Is this file missing in this version of ESP-IDF (no issue reported during the install) or is there a workaround I could try ?
Thanks.

Where are you seeing the error ? Is the error coming from the Microsoft C/C++ extension ? or is it in the build output ?

You can check the .vscode/c_cpp_properties.json and use the compile_commands.json configuration as described in https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp ... URATION.md

The error messages are in the terminal during the build in the ESP-IDF, not sure what you mean by Microsoft C/C++ extension.

Since I have reinstalled VSCode and the ESP-IDF extension from scratch with ESP IDF 5.1.2 stable.
I run with the c_cpp_properties.json unmodified after the install. Hard coding the compilerPath did not help.

Code: Select all

{
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "ESP-IDF",
            "compilerPath": "${config:idf.toolsPathWin}undefined",
            "compileCommands": "${workspaceFolder}/build/compile_commands.json",
            "includePath": [
                "${config:idf.espIdfPath}/components/**",
                "${config:idf.espIdfPathWin}/components/**",
                "${config:idf.espAdfPath}/components/**",
                "${config:idf.espAdfPathWin}/components/**",
                "${workspaceFolder}/**"
            ],
            "browse": {
                "path": [
                    "${config:idf.espIdfPath}/components",
                    "${config:idf.espIdfPathWin}/components",
                    "${config:idf.espAdfPath}/components/**",
                    "${config:idf.espAdfPathWin}/components/**",
                    "${workspaceFolder}"
                ],
                "limitSymbolsToIncludedHeaders": false
            }
        }
    ],
    "version": 4
}

The C code used is now reduced to the bare minimum :

Code: Select all

#include <stdio.h>
void app_main(void)
{
}

I see the same problem where builds for Xtensa ESP32 modules work (using xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc.exe) while builds for RISC-V ESP32 modules fail (using riscv32-esp-elf-g++.exe) with the same errors.
Below the error messages for a build done with target set to ESP32H2:

ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.

There is no file c++config.h in the ...\include\c++\12.2.0\bits in the directories but the compile_commands.json file always contains build commands for cxx_guards.cpp and cxx_exception_stubs.cpp for both ESP32 architectures.
As expected I guess the includes change depending in the ESP32 type.

Of course the problem may be somewhere in my W10 (I get the same error on 2 PCs) or in my setup but it is rather strange that this would make build fail just for the RISC-V modules.

Is there debug options I could use ?

Posted: **Tue Feb 20, 2024 6:51 pm**

After more searches I found that there are many copies file c++config.h in subdirectories under .....\tools\riscv32-esp-elf\esp-12.2.0_20230208\riscv32-esp-elf\riscv32-esp-elf\include\c++\12.2.0\riscv32-esp-elf\ .
After that I managed to get a successful build by adding a path to a directory where there is a c++config.h file in INCLUDES statements in the build.ninja file. I did that to fix the builds for 22 obj files so the builds complete without error.

Below the statement I added :

Code: Select all

What seems wierd to me is that there is no c++config.h files in the directories listed in the INCLUDES statements in the build.ninja file as created by CMAKE.

Of course my change is just a workaround which wiped out whenever the build.ninja file is recreated.

The content of the path I added in the INCLUDES statement is build at installation time and is not customization dependent so I guess my questions now are :
- Should CMAKE add paths to directories with a c++config.h file in the INCLUDES statements when the build.ninja file is created ?
- or is there a why to append some sort of default path to the INCLUDES statements in the ESP-IDF customization ?

Right now I feel alone in the Titanic

..Help please!

Problem fixed. The build failed as the path length to included files exceeded some limit somewhere.
No sure where this limit is as the registry key \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem\LongPathsEnabled exists in my W10s and is set to 1 thus permitting an extended-length path of32767 character max.
During my tests, build for the ESP32H2 worked after I installed the esp-idf extension in VSCode under my user home directory (C:\Users\Bruno\) instead of directory 'C:\Users\Bruno\Documents\'.
But still the limit can be exceeded if too long qualifiers are used for the installation directory.
By instance, the build for ESP32H2 works when the extension is placed in C:\Users\Bruno\esp\V5.1.2 but it fails when the extension is in C:\Users\Bruno\esp_very_very_long_name\v5.1.2\.

Kind of funny that the problem did not surface for build done for Xtensa based ESP32 modules.

I wonder if a limit for path names might be reached in the esp-idf code itself. If such it would be good to have it checked so the user is warned during the installation procedure..if not, my bad
